I came across this term in a manuscript transcription of a sermon on Lamentations 1.3. Anyone know the term or if the person making the MS wrote what he heard, what it might be misspelled for? No hits googling.
"Judah is gone into captivity (Lamentations 1:3). Here he laments their voluntary captivity or banishment among the heathen. For they are, so vexed at home by the Chaldean Suddart, that they had rather go wherever than stay at home for the Lord had made the holy land a prison."
 
Oxford English Dictionary lists 'suddart' as a mercenary soldier. (Also: suddard, suddert, su(l)dart, soudart, so(w)ldart, souldart, etc.)
 
A special kind of soap artistic expression from the Chaldean region? Chaldean Sud Art. Pretty sure that’s it. Didn’t even have to google it.
 
Chris, I looked it up in our huge two volume edition that comes with a magnifying glass. I'm not sure the contents are available online ... but it's a magical tome. It is very, very heavy though.
 
Yes; I have one of those. I signed up for book of the month club to get it for free back in the mid late 1980s. Invaluable; but I do believe, regardless of the magnifying glass, the print gets smaller every time I open it of late. Again, not sure why I didn't think to check it.

That's "dark arts," not sud art.

Please notice that my suggestion was considered helpful. I won, I won! While you did not even get an honorable mention. No trophy for participation (though it is an 'art' word). ... I mean this in the nicest way ... :warfield: (<----a sober but kind expression to make you think seriously about your response ...)
